UVA is going bowling! Football that is...

Had you told me at the beginning of this season that UVA would be going to a bowl game, I would have said, "I certainly hope."

Had you told me that we'd not only turn our record around from 4-8 last year to 8-4 this season and make a bowl game, I would have said "I know we can do it."

Had you said we'd make a bowl game and play the defending national champion of Auburn, I would have said, "you're funny!"

So, the hotel in Nashville will be canceled.

All eyes are on the ATL and the Chik-Fil-A Bowl (really the Peach Bowl).

I'll be a proud Alum with Ellen as we celebrate another NYE together while cheering on our beloved 'Hoos.

I absolutely adored watching UVA (yes, UVA) on ESPN receiving it's bowl selection as they talked about how we pulled through at the end of games and have the ACC Coach of the Year.

We're back onto the national scene in football (we're there in olympic sports). And, it feels great. I'm not going to lie.

More details to come as the puzzle pieces all fall into place.

Moral of the Story: God-willing, Ellen and I'll be ringing in 2012 with some Wahoos from Cville!
